colors . . . remind me of happiness . . . warm golden oranges + sweet luscious pinks + refreshing lavender + glowing sun ray yellows . . .
happiness contains 2.5 oz of my amazingly soft hand dyed and drum carded fiber which includes :: fake cashmere + superfine merino + firestar + bambyx mori silk + mohair locks + recycled sari silk.
a link to happiness.

Hi. Nice to meet you Rolags ~
Popping-in to give you a tiny peek at what Whirlwend has been up to lately ... expanding my obsession with color by dying and carding fiber for spinning and felting.
The little sweeties I made above are called Rolags. Here is a little video by the über-talented Michelle Snowdon over at Wooldancer that shows you how to make them + how they can be spun on a wheel to make yarn...
Tip for other Fiberistas making rolags this way :: I'm finding it's a bit easier to roll the fiber off the drum carder when sandwiched between two dowel rods so it doesn't slip.
Check out some of my batts (and rolags very soon) here.
